Staff Reporter :
Unidentified persons have demanded extortion from the bank officials introducing themselves as top terrorists. Evidence has been found in a recent letter from Rupali Bank in this regard.
After reaching a letter to branch managers, the bank instructed all officials to remain aware of extortionists and fraudsters.
Police, however, told the bank authorities for constant communication with law enforcement agencies to avoid any untoward incidents.
Sources said the Rupali Bank warned the branch managers that extortion has been demanded from senior officials of the bank in the name of top terrorists Arman and Shahadat.
Even the letter also mentioned to deposit large amount of money in an account where the identity of a government official was also shown.
In this case, the Senior Principal Officer of Rupali Bank Shahidul Islam said that a circular has already been issued from the Rupali Bank head office. We have informed all our officials about this. No matter how powerful the terrorists are, they will be resisted, he added. DMP Deputy Commissioner Walid Hossain said, “I am requesting all concerned to inform the police as soon as they get such letter or call.” There is nothing to be afraid, he added.
It is mentionable that recently not only Rupali Bank, but also senior officials of several other banks in the country have been also threatened in this way.
